YMCA - When I was in the Navy there was a YMCA outside the Boston Navy Yard that had a indoor pool and sauna. Back then it was only for men and you were not allowed to use the pool or sauna with any chothing. When arriving they gave us clean towels. We were required to shower before using the facility. Me and my friends in the Navy had no problems about being naked. Actually you got over that issue during the first week of boot camp.
The nice benefit was you arrived, showered used the facility, showered again and returned the wet towel and left. There were many occasions where we were going out to dinner or to a bar and stopped there first. After using the facility we had no wet bathing suites or towels that required a return trip to the ship.

It is a total shame the way guys are afraid of showing their bodies or being seen in gyms today. At my gym it is normal to see a guy take off his street clothes and be wearing his gym clothes underneath. Even down to the shirt! I have also seen many guys shower in their swimming trunks or gym shorts at the local YMCA as well. I have no idea how they can sit in the sauna fully dressed but it doesn't stop me from sitting naked on my towel and relaxing the way you should be!
I agree! the whole point of the Y is to help boys grow up and be men-unashamed; but ever since women were allowed in its become more and more feminine and men are more and more scared to be men by being unashamed of their man bodies.
Hopefully every single person on this site and other nude venues will purposely be nude as much and as long as possible at their
local gym!
Yea I've seen the guys at the Air Force gym I go to all covered up. And it's the guys who are in their 20-30s! I really think it's from the lack of PE class in high schools where you have to change in front of others, where you have no choice. I see guys do the towel dance all the time, trying to get in/out of the underwear. It's ridiculous. And it's not guys who are out of shape necessarily, it's even the ones who are muscular and built. Go figure... it's not a self-esteem issue, it's a "I can't be seen naked" issue. Really sad! :(
Hi satxguy35,
Understand what you mean.
It all started with Muslim guys who keep there underwear (in repsect with their religion)
Younger guys take over this way of showering.
If not all guys undress they feel ashamed of being naked.
It is know as more healthy do shower naked and get all bacterias of and it is also important for young guys to grow up, get aware of other guys and how they look. If they not sure about the length of their own penis or other bodyparts they can compare with others.
I can not think of a better place to be naked. I usually am naked most of the time. There are some that keep a towel on but the majority of the men are naked. Like a lot of the comments it is mostly the younger guys that wear towels. Great to be naked and hanging out with friends naked.
I've also read a lot of comments about younger guys not getting naked in locker rooms. What I have noticed though is younger guys have much less of an issue with posting full body nude photos or amateur sex videos online. When browsing craigs list or other hook-up sites the younger guys seem to post the most full body with face nude photos. Same with amateur video sites like x-tube, the younger guys have no issues uploading vids of themselves having sex with their buddies or who ever. I've seen many amateur group sex vids where you can see most all the young guys have their phones out videoing themselves in action to send to friends or post online. I think the 18-25 generation is becoming alienated from in person interaction outside of the internet making actual social interaction uncomfortable. On the internet you can control how a person sees you, in person you can't. Of course here I am myself posting on the internet along with a profile containing naked pictures. But at least I have no issues with locker room or in person nudity either.
It is funny to see some guys younger and older at the gym I go to, that do the towel dance to get dressed after a shower. I have even seen a few guys even go into the stall to change. everyone has the same stuff, does not make sense to me why they do it but it is funny to see it. Also have seen guys wearing their swimsuits into the shower.
I am a gym regular and my custom is to go nude in the locker room and shave nude after my shower. Some of the guys are quite shy about being nude but it takes all kinds. There are even some who when they dress go commando. I do that myself in the warmer months. It is nothing for me to stand there nude having a conversation with one of my friends, whether they are nude or not. No one ever seems to mind, I know I don't.
